The Translanguaging Classroom is not just a theory – it's a practical guide that brings translanguaging pedagogy to life. Join authors García, Ibarra Johnson, and Seltzer as they illustrate their pedagogical approach with real-world examples from different classroom settings. From a 5th-grade dual-language bilingual class in New Mexico to an 11th-grade English-medium social studies class in New York, and a 7th-grade ESL class in California, you'll see how translanguaging can be implemented effectively to enhance your teaching.

This book also provides invaluable special features to support your professional growth. With learning objectives for every chapter, vignettes that exemplify pedagogical strategies, sample translanguaging unit designs, and helpful tools for planning, implementation, and evaluation, you'll have everything you need to apply translanguaging concepts and techniques in your own classroom.
